#### Formula
Total Renewal Cost = (Subtotal + Service Tax) Subtotal = Category-Adjusted Base Fee + Turnover Surcharge + Employee Surcharge + Branch Fee + Inspection Fee + Late Penalty + Expedited Fee Category-Adjusted Base Fee = Base Fee × Category Multiplier • Sole Proprietorship: $150 | Partnership: $300 | LLC: $500 | Corporation: $900 • Category Multipliers — Retail: 1.00 | Service: 1.10 | Manufacturing: 1.30 | Food: 1.25 | Professional: 1.15 Turnover Surcharge (tiered): • 0.05% on turnover ≤ $500,000 • 0.03% on turnover $500,001–$2,000,000 • 0.02% on turnover > $2,000,000 Employee Surcharge = max(0, Employees − 5) × $5 Branch Fee = max(0, Branches − 1) × $100 Inspection Fee = $200 (if required) Late Penalty: • 1–30 days overdue: $50 flat • 31–90 days overdue: $50 + ($2 × days beyond 30) • >90 days overdue: $50 + $120 + ($5 × days beyond 90) Expedited Fee = 30% × (Category-Adjusted Base + Turnover + Employee + Branch + Inspection fees) Service Tax = 5% × Subtotal
